Creative Zen Vision W: 30GB Media Player for 275.00

[carmaster]

Bestbuy has this on sale for 299 after the 70 instant savings. However add the 25 off 250 coupon and get it for 275.

Shipping is also free in most regions. So it comes out to 313 with tax.

...So it comes out to 313 with tax.Sorry to be picky, but I think you mean $275. Looks like a good deal though!

Thanks for the correction.

the vision W has pretty nice features but if you want portability and is willing to give up some screen real estate, the vision M is a better choice IMO. Still a nice price though.

does anyone know if there is a cable capable of transferring pics from digital camera directly to this unit... I know there is something like that for the IPOD.... thanks.

i dunno WTF's going on, but it's been like that for a while at FS/BB for many products online....

it has a cf slot where you can dump cards. better than direct connection to a camera which kills both batteries

Unfortunately (or not depending on your view) not many new cameras use Compact Flash, so this is a bit limiting. They do make an SD adapter for it, but I had trouble finding one at a reasonable price in Canada.

Thanks. I was thinking about the one made by Creative specifically for the vision, but I suspect that this item would work as well.

For my laptop, I presume that I can put this device as well in my PCCard-CF adapter as well to read SD. And use the SD to micro SD adapter to read that final format :)

I got one, is much cheaper and smaller then the Creative vision and work just as good.

Weird, the coupon doesn't seem to work. For awhile it would say it was invalid and it wouldn't go through. But now it is accepted on the Digital Dollars page, but it doesn't show up near the end of the checkout. coupon COUPON25804202749427.

Any ideas? also, any other ways to drop the price other than gift cards?

I have a similar problem. The coupon works when I enter it, but it doesn't show on the checkout page and my total is calculated without the coupon discount as:
Product Total $299.99
Shipping $9.62
Provincial Sales Tax $24.77
Goods and Services Tax $18.58

Total: $352.96

Also, I selected the free ground shipping, but I'm still being charged the rate for expedited shipping. What a poorly designed website!

Finally this has come down in price. I got my 60GB on January 1st thru Dell for $299. I sure like it.

[hardywang]

I'm waiting for this baby down to under $200...:cheesygri ;)

It's not weird. You've dug up an old thread with a coupon code that expired a month ago.

Whoa, yeah this thread is over a month old :lol:

yes but oddly enough the Vision W IS on sale for $299 again. ($70 off).

but, alas, no coupon. :(

[Pr0metheus]

Are there any performance or video quality differences between the Zen Vision and the Zen Vision W?

[vek]

I bought this about half a year ago through Dell. Hands down, the best gadget I've bought. When I'm travelling for work, I watch it on the plane, then hook it up to the hotel TV to watch decent shows.

Amazing device, imo.

How? I bought the 30gb version when this thread was made for 275. It's very nice.

[daftfunk]

i have the 60gig version and can't live without it. 30 gigs is sufficient unless you like to store a lot of divx.
